I spend time digging up pieces of yellow metal.
I don't want to hijack any further by posting up fantastic pictures of gold.

In the late '70s I spent a week treking thru the Smoky Mountains and came out thinking I had struck it rich.
Turned out that napsack full of "fools gold" was not worth a plug nickle.

I'm still among the living. I have my final (hopefully) PET/CT scan Oct. 4 to ensure I truely am cancer free.
Assuming I'm OK, discussion can begin about possiblities of reconstruction surgery(ies) so I be rid of this f...ng trach tube in my throat and the feeding tube in my belly.
Then maybe I can eat and drink like a human and become a little more and be able to speak clearly without having to write all the time. Not that I mind writing so much as I do not being able to be understood.
It keeps me in a foul mood most of the time so I never answer the phone anymore and avoid people best I can.
Being in a nursing home at age 57 was not how I planned things.
At least I have about all the time in the world to work on model railroad.I see I missed a totally new website! Someone else had to clue me in.
Oh well.... here I am none the less.

Big E, it's good to have you back online.
Here's a railroad question that's been puzzling me. A guy on one of the first crews I worked on had been a locomotive engineer. He told me that the steam locos were considerably more powerful than the diesels, but that the steamers were phased out because they required a lot more maintenance. Any information you can provide would be welcome.
